-Quick rundown of the current directory structure:
+The following is a quick rundown of the current directory structure.
+First, components in the kernel namespace, i.e. compiled with -D_KERNEL
 
 sys/rump/librump - kernel runtime emulation
   /rumpkern    - kernel core, e.g. syscall, interrupt and lock support
-  /rumpuser    - userspace namespace support for rump, *NO* -D_KERNEL
-                 provides e.g. malloc() and some syscalls
 
   /rumpcrypto  - kernel cryptographic routines
   /rumpdev     - device support, e.g. autoconf subsystem

+hypercall interface:
